History of Changes
  Purpose

The primary hypothesis is that dosing regimens of AMG 145 will be well tolerated and will result in a greater reduction of Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) in subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.


Condition Intervention Phase
Hyperlipidemia
 Drug: AMG 145
Other: Placebo
 Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of AMG 145 on LDL-C in Subjects With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
